BA Mexican Cake Release

It hasn't kicked yet?

 

Think they put on another right at 4. I was the 1st one in the door. Sure everyone thought I was a jerk for having my 2 girls with me but was just there to try it.

 

Any body know if this is still on our if they will have any other special trappings tomorrow? Thinking about coming up for the day. Thanks!!

 

Meanwhile on 804th Beer Advocate "when will Mexican cake be released"
thread

 

So true That was great for business, ended up sitting in the tasting room for countless hours. But, man those few weeks were a bit crazy. After that release they fortunately created El Cat. I wouldn't be surprised if Westbrook ends up going that route as well. Cuts down on the phone calls at least.

 

This thread was a great Saturday morning read. Thanks for all the wackiness. Being a Charleston transplant to Hawai'i, it's fun to remember how lucky I was to live there. Now all I can get are bottles of Cantillon, Lodgson, Cascade, and Drie Fonteinen, just to name a few. Problems...

 

I would give up every SC craft beer to have your waves.

 

You saw nothing. Nothing!!!

 

Ok, can't argue with that. Our small days are our great days back home.

 

Well, I opened up my local paper just now and saw this.....

Very cool. Stinks for us out-of-towners, but props to WB. Sounds like I may need to plan a trip to Charleston in the future!

 

This year's variants are confirmed.

Pappi, Bourbon, Cognac, Coconut Bourbon, and DB (Chocolate and bourbon).

 

Bourbon will not be bottled this year.

 

Looks like WB listened to the locals. Too bad for me, it was after I moved away. Others will still gripe and complain, but they'll still want it at the end of the day.

 

ISO OF EVERYTHING. I HAVE CYCLE AND CCB! Punch a hole in me, they look so good!

 

Who confirmed variants? And where?

 

Post and courier article today. Five variants.

 

ISO: have first born on the way, willing to work out a deal.

 

Here's a question for those who have experience with BA Cake bottle releases in the past? Once word starts to get out of a release, how long does it typically last? I'm just two hours away in the Savannah area and would consider making the drive up if I could grab a bottle for myself.

 

I doubt it will last two hours, if they are silent releases. The idea stays the same, they want everyone coming back, all the time, to wait and see if they're going to make the release, once they start releasing them. Once they go into the cooler, the beer-trading internet is going to break. Just like Cigar City did in the beginning with all their Hunahpu variants and original 25oz format madness.
